Can't you think of any way/method to raise revenues that we actually would feel good about, that would be a positive to LBC's image? The potential defense litigation costs (right or wrong/ win or lose), once the first freeway accident occurs with the excuse "that flashing billboard" being the cause, will negate any and all "potential" revenues. AND... they look like shit. I guess when you have council salaries of a whopping $36K a year, this is the quality of thinkers you get! LBC lets step it up and let the new school brilliant thinkers start to take control. WE ALL DESERVE IT !!!</p>RKJFri, 21 Mar 2008 15:36:35 -0000http://thedistrictweekly.com/daily/writing-shotgun/electronic-billboards-too-hot-for-city-council/#comment-1365113<p>Giant glowing billboard slogan contest:</p><p>Downtown Long Beach!
